Chapter 114: Pitfall (1/3)
The black donkey finally confessed that it didn't have any treasure-hunting abilities, but instead had a very strong sense of the presence of powerful creatures.
In the Pingtian Mountains, he was able to obtain so many spiritual herbs because he first found the demonic beasts that guarded the spiritual herbs and then deceived them. In other words, Zhou Heng had been eating dirty things for three whole months!
The monster wants to cheat, humans also deceive, like Zhu Zhi and the four people who took the black donkey as a heavenly donkey, almost got their pants pulled off, it can be seen that the black donkey is still very powerful, if not for meeting Zhou Heng at first sight, being seen through his nature, maybe even Zhou Heng would have been deceived.
After all, a donkey that can talk is really shocking. It's impossible for people not to regard it as a divine creature.
"You're useless, Black Donkey! Since you can't find treasure, just go wherever it's cool and stay there!" Zhou Heng waved his hand, he was already immune to Hei Lu's cheapness, but An Yumei and Lin Fuxiang were about to be suffocated by anger.
"Crossing the river and dismantling the bridge! This seat rewards you with a face of gold for this ungrateful fellow!" The black donkey cried out repeatedly.
"You can follow if you want, but keep your mouth shut. If I hear you say one word, I'll throw you out immediately!" Zhou Heng smiled slyly at Hei Lu.
"Get out! Are you trying to murder me?" The black donkey opened its mouth and bit towards Zhou Heng, it was absolutely a master of underhanded tricks and sneak attacks.
Zhou Heng had just barely dodged the swift and fierce attack, but Hei Liu saw an opportunity and refused to leave after learning that Zhou Heng possessed a spatial artifact that could enter living creatures.
"Just want me to leave? Simple, just give that pagoda to me and I'll be on my way! Although I don't think much of it, I'll reluctantly accept your filial piety!" Hei Luo said shamelessly.
It followed closely, apparently determined to deceive and cheat, taking advantage of Zhou Heng's inattention to get this treasure. With the mysterious power of this black donkey, it might really have a way to make the Jiuxuan Trial Tower recognize a new master after leaving Zhou Heng's control!
Zhou Heng didn't dare to be careless, this black donkey was going to swindle people. Even acquaintances would cheat, and he must be extremely cautious.
After four people and a donkey turned in the Spiritual Grass Garden for five days, they gained a lot, but if they said that the value was worth a city, there wasn't even one. This is also a characteristic of the Spiritual Grass Garden, which can always gain something, but the spiritual grass with thousands or even tens of thousands of years of fire age is almost impossible to encounter.
Zhou Heng was also very satisfied and had already obtained a piece of bright jade honey. Letting the four people make great progress, this trip was worth it!
They finally left the huge garden and continued to walk up the mountain. Although they encountered several groups of people, Zhou Heng didn't have a hobby of killing people indiscriminately, as long as Hei Lu (Black Donkey) didn't speak recklessly. Generally, conflicts wouldn't arise.
They walked through one courtyard after another, which used to be the residence of the Taiyi Zong disciples, but now they were all empty and desolate.
It's basically impossible for there to be any treasure here, and even if there was, it would have been taken away long ago. However, Zhou Heng still went in to take a look, not because he wanted to pick up any leftovers, but because he had become interested in what had happened to the Great Expansion Sect back then.
"No one knows what's going on!" Gu Zi shook her head. In this regard, she had more say than An Yumei and Lin Fuxiang. "The Great Expansion Sect was indeed destroyed suddenly, it was a power that far exceeded the boundaries of mountains and rivers!"
It's been thousands of years since the event, even a strong being from the Primordial Realm can only live for about a thousand years or so. Those who experienced that period have long since died out completely. However, the downfall of the Taiyi Sect was too strange and has been studied by people generation after generation, with almost every detail recorded in great detail.
At that time, the Daxuan Zong was completely destroyed, and in fact, there were very few details that outsiders knew. It has always been a mystery.
"Some people say that the Da Yan Sect offended a peerless strongman in the Jie Tai realm, or even the Shen Yin realm, which is why they were destroyed so cleanly. Therefore, even some strongmen in the Shan He realm, or even the Ling Hai realm, who are curious do not dare to come over, fearing that they might accidentally offend that strongman!" An Yumei added.
"Father came to settle here, actually also wanted to try his luck, whether he could meet that elusive senior. Get the other party's guidance, break through the open sky boundary!"
Zhou Heng walked into several courtyards to examine them carefully, and even saw two skulls stacked on top of each other in one room, with the pelvis visible. It was obviously a man and a woman, and judging from how closely they were joined together, it was likely that they were in the midst of an intimate act when they were alive.
"Not a single defense!" Zhou Heng furrowed his brow, "It's indeed an overwhelmingly powerful force that can kill everyone instantly, without even giving them a chance to react!"
"This person and Tianzun, who knows which one is stronger? Bah, Tianzun can suppress this person with just one hand!" Hei Lu muttered to himself.
"What are you muttering about, you worthless donkey? Do you know something?" Zhou Heng didn't hear clearly, only knowing that the black donkey was muttering.
"This seat is thinking, how about kicking you one foot!" Hei Liu said with a sly smile, but changed the subject.
Zhou Heng didn't believe it, but this black donkey was extremely cunning. If it didn't want to say anything, it wouldn't be possible to force it out. It simply shook its head and said: "Cheap donkey, what level of power is required to achieve this?"
Hei Lu this time did not speak nonsense, but thought for a while before saying: "What that ugly eight said earlier was right, at least you need to reach the fetal stage to achieve it!"
"Dead black donkey!" An Yumei kicked out with one foot, but it was easily dodged by the black donkey.
"What exactly did the Taiyuan Sect do at that time to deserve such a heinous punishment!" Zhou Heng knocked his head, "Or perhaps, the Taiyuan Sect inadvertently obtained some treasure, which led to that powerful person taking action and killing them to silence them!"
Whether it's revenge or silencing, this instant wipeout of the entire Daxian Sect, which was said to have at least tens of thousands of people in its heyday, is absolutely ruthless!
"It's not necessarily so!" Gu Zi expressed her opposition, calmly saying, "In the eyes of the strong, all the weak are just ants, and erasing the lives of a few more ants won't be placed in the heart of the strong!"
Everyone was silent, and as the power of the strong grew stronger, they became even more fearful. If a powerful person like the one who destroyed the Great Yuan Sect were to go on a killing spree when in a bad mood, it would be a bloodbath that would leave no one unscathed.
How innocent the ants are in the eyes of the strong!
Must get stronger!
Zhou Heng clenched his fists and said in his heart that his fate must be grasped in his own hands.
Four people and a donkey continued on their way and arrived at Miaodan Building.
Miao Dan Ge is a massive stone temple, divided into three layers, each with many dan houses, storing large quantities of dan medicine. However, after years of plundering, what remains is not much.
And the reason why there are still some left is that each alchemical furnace has a restrictive protection, some of which are easy to break, while others are difficult. The ones that remain are naturally the most terrifying restrictions.
The seal will weaken and eventually disappear as the source of power decreases, so the stupidest way is to wait. The second best way is to keep triggering the seal, as long as you can resist it, you can accelerate its disappearance.
Of course, someone who is proficient in formation techniques can also break through seals, which is the best way to respond.
Although the elixirs of the third layer are definitely higher in quality than those of the first layer, it's not necessarily true that there aren't any top-grade elixirs in the first layer. The most crucial thing isn't the quality of the elixir, but whether or not you can get your hands on it; otherwise, what's the point of being able to see it if you can't take it?
Zhou Heng and the four of them swept through a room, after thousands of years, almost all restrictions had lost their effect, it was truly empty, with only a row of empty medicine racks surrounding the four walls. The central medicine stove was also kicked open, swept clean.
Until they had walked halfway through the first floor of the Dan room, Zhou Heng and his party finally saw a Dan room that was not completely empty. The shelves on all four walls were empty except for one wall where only the top shelf had a single bottle of Dan medicine left alone.
On the gourd bottle was a label with three words written on it: "Huang Long Dan".
"Zhou Xiaozhi, I'm so bored, bring that bottle of medicinal wine to give Donkey a digest!" Black Whirlwind couldn't help but be insolent again.
"What's the use of Huang Long Dan?" Zhou Heng turned his head to ask. The eyes of this black donkey were quite venomous, and eight out of ten things it looked at were good stuff!
"What's it good for? It's just for me to eat as sugar beans!" The black donkey avoided saying anything, but saliva was involuntarily flowing out.
This Huang Long Dan must be a good thing, otherwise the power of prohibition would not be so strong, and it has not dissipated until now. In these thousands of years of turmoil, it is increasingly difficult to get the elixir here. But if you really want to get one, it will definitely be a good thing.
Zhou Heng stretched out his right hand, which instantly turned into metal and grabbed towards that dan bottle.
Boom!
When his hand was less than an inch away from the Dan frame, it seemed to touch a layer of ripples. The air suddenly rippled out in waves, and then a powerful force rebounded against Zhou Heng, sending him flying backwards and heavily crashing into the wall opposite.
"Hahaha!" The black donkey burst out laughing and almost fell over backwards.
"Are you okay?" An Yumei and Lin Xiangxiang rushed over to help him up, their concerned expressions evident on their faces.
Zhou Heng shook his head, the power of this seal was not enough to pose a threat to him, but it was also because he had lightly touched it and left that the counterattack force was naturally greater.
If he were to go all out, it wouldn't be so easy.
He glanced at the black donkey that was secretly laughing, and suddenly kicked out with one foot, kicking the black donkey's buttocks. This kick was both fast and accurate, he not only used the Swift Cloud Flowing Step, but also merged his momentum, the black donkey had been preparing for a thousand days, but ultimately let its guard down for a moment, and was ambushed by Zhou Heng.
"You stinky little brat, I'm not done with you yet! Ah, your donkey life is hard to preserve——" The black donkey heavily crashed into the alchemy furnace, boom, instantly a wave surged over, as if a big stone had been thrown into a pond, and the waves splashed all over the entire alchemy room.
Buzz!
The four hooves of the black donkey suddenly emitted a golden light, and actually kicked through this wave pattern. The powerful force shook, and this head of donkey also fell to the ground without any image, with its limbs spread out and white foam flowing from its mouth.
Death is not dead, four legs are still twitching, it seems that the hard birth broke through the ban, and it also paid a great price.
Zhou Heng let out a long laugh and swiftly grabbed the dan bottle that was flying horizontally in mid-air.
This time, Hei Liu was swindled by Zhou Heng!
